About Google Search Console

Google Search Console is a web-based tool designed to help businesses measure websites’ search traffic and performance, resolve issues, and improve site ranking in Google Search results. It lets SEO specialists conduct marketing analysis using other Google tools, such as Google Trends, Google Analytics, and Google Ads to facilitate decision-making processes related to websites’ appearance in search results.

Key features of Google Search Console include keyword tracking, mobile keywords, dashboard, localization, rank tracking, and Google Analytics integration. The platform enables users to analyze clicks, impressions, and position of websites on Google search and gain insight into the queries that bring more users to their websites. Marketers can submit sitemaps and individual URLs for crawling and reviewing index coverage.

Google Search Console sends email alerts to teams about issues identified by Google on websites and helps examine the URLs affected by these issues. The system also allows web developers to monitor and resolve common bugs while creating markup or codes for websites.

The Beast Mode is On For My Local Business Needs

Reviewed on 2022-10-06

Pros

It's been 3-4 years using the Search Console previously well known as Google Web Master Tools. Google has made a lot of efforts to make the Search Console better and better over the time. The current version is super helpful and Unique to itself. There is no platform that helps website owners to make things easier and make your work stand out. Search console helped me a lot in my internet presence. It took sometime but it really worth using Google Search Console. It helps me managing my website issues. If there's any issue even a tiny one it lets me know immediately so i can solve it before it's too late. I thank you Google for such an amazing platform for free.

Cons

No cons it's just perfect. I like the search console pretty much

I use this on a daily basis when working as an SEO to track and monitor website health, and improve client websites backend issues affecting speed and crawlability. It's one of the first data areas I request access to when working on a new site.

Pros

Given that Google is the most important search engine for website owners, the website performance information contained in Search Console is incredibly valuable. The integration of Core Web Vitals data is a must view for website owners, and the keyword conversion and CTR data is essential for SEOs improving client websites.

Cons

While the current Search Console is greatly improved over the previous iteration, it's still a bit clunky, and some useful tools did not make the migration to the new product. It's sometimes hard to find where Google hid certain features in the current version.

With Google Console, you can view which keywords are bringing in the traffic to your website and can optimize to start tracking keywords. The benefit when your links get indexed is you can start doing On-page SEO to start seeing your website positioning in the search engine.

Pros

Integration of Google Console is quite simple and easy to use. Indexing is the most important function for me or any business that wants their website to display in the search engine and also the analytics it provides. When Google Analytics is linked to Google Search Console it becomes powerful if you understand how to use it.

Cons

I don't like the new feature of Google Search Console when you submit your sitemaps to get links indexed. Google is not indexing my links to any of the new websites I'm submitting or even updating old links.

Search Console allowed me to appear organically in Google in a relatively short time without having to pay any dollar, with applying the recommendations that give to you during the process of this software, and optimizing both text and images, you can have your site with significant traffic that these can end in future sales and that your company or business will undoubtedly thank you without relatively much effort, the hard work of indexing the pages that are responsible for Search Console.

Pros

The advantages you have in this Google tool are indispensable when you first create your website, and what Search Console does is put your site in Google, and put it in the sight of everyone when applying all the processes involved in this process. It is pretty simple to create an account since you will have to use your business or personal account to start with the process, and then index the various web pages you have within your site.

Cons

It could be that the language used by this Google tool is somewhat complex for new users, but of course, there is this help section where we can familiarize ourselves with the different terms that Search Console handles. The interface is user-friendly like all Google products, it is a bit confusing at first as you have several tools to start with but with the help of marketing experts or of course yourself you can quickly locate your sitemaps and start being seen on the web.

I check Search Console multiple times every day to manage all my SEO projects. I also integrate its API with in house tools and services.An amazing tool that I would recommend to every SEO.

Pros

Search Console offers SEOs a small glimpse into how Google wants us to measure and analyze websites. It's useful, it's feature rich and it's free!

Cons

It has evolved a lot over the years and there's little to improve. I know it is free, but asking for bigger crawl logs would be amazing.
